The MA & Other Postgraduates

Exhibition supports artists emerging from postgraduate study to be part of a collective show which aims to represent a broad range of disciplines and contemporary styles.

Each year universities across the UK are invited to nominate up to 5 students whom they believe represent the highest quality and standards in their personal artistic practice. Selections are then made from these entries with around 45 works being chosen to be exhibited.

The ethos of the Atkinson Gallery is to support upcoming artistic talent and through the MA & Other Postgraduates Exhibition the gallery is able to offer a unique opportunity to emerging artists in a specifically designed space which has a long history of quality exhibitions.

Work in Progress Summer Studios

So during the summer we get access to the studio spaces, which means we can experiment with our work and try out new things.

I have been recently using my MRI images to inspire my work. These have mostly been fairly small pieces.

I have been exploring going bigger, making a piece that is life-size.

Kidney Amyloids 1

Kidney Amyloids 2

Kidney Amyloids

When I visited the National Amyloidosis Centre in November 2017 I was able to obtain some images of the Amyloids in my kidneys. This has led to a number of pieces of work based on these images.

The first pieces copied the microscopic image on the left, kidney amyloids 1. Fabric was collaged onto transfer dyed felt using an embellisher. Hand embroidery was used to emphasise the amyloids.

Kidney Amyloid 2

Then I used a portion of the image on the right kidney amyloids 2 to create these pieces of work which show an individual amyloid in the glomerulus of my kidney.

Amyloid 1 was made using printed layers of chiffon which were cut to expose lower layers. The piece was embellished and stitched.

Amyloid 2 was made from cotton printed with an ink jet printer. Reverse appliqué techniques and embroidery were used to highlight parts of the image

May Exhibitions

May always brings a glut of art to look at and enjoy particularly in Brighton where we have the Brighton Festival. This year the guest director David Shrigley has put on an interactive installation Life Model II at Fabrica Gallery. The installation features a larger than life mannequin in the middle of a typical life drawing set up. Visitors are encouraged to take part and draw the model, these efforts are show on the walls.

A big part of Brighton Festival is the Artists Open Houses. Artists open their or their friends homes to the public for the purpose of selling their wares. This gives people chance to bag a locally made bargain while having a good nose around other peoples houses in different parts of town. The reality is that a lot of houses are operating as a craft fair selling jewellery, home-wares, prints of assorted Brighton landmarks such as the Royal Pavilion and the pier, seagull models and other assorted products of varying quality accompanied by tea and cake in the garden. This is I think the result of the high cost of being part of the artist houses trail. But occasionally you find a house showing good quality paintings or sculpture. This is the case with the Collectors Selection, part of the Hove trail, which is showing a good selection of Sculpture. Including work by Eve Shepherd and Fiona Morley.

Phoenix artist studios open weekend was a great opportunity to see a wide variety of professional artist’s studios and the work they create. It was also great to catch up with Lucy Brown, Michelle Cobin and Eve Shepherd and see their latest work and be encouraged with my work.
